With the smaller 12.9-inch sibling of the big iPad Pro, Apple also offers a strong competitor to the iPad Air 2. We have already reviewed the elegant power tablet with the iPhone camera. Even though it is once again an exemplary product, there is still room for improvements.

NFC only for Apple Pay, power adapter is too weak and gets hot under load, storage of the 32 GB version is slower, no quick-charge, long loading times, high price

For professionals looking for a grab-and-go tablet that can handle their workload -- and plenty of fun on the side -- the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is the tablet to buy.

We hate to start our conclusion with a cliché, but the iPad Pro 9.7 is the best tablet money can buy right now. Period. That’s partially because it is a well-built, feature packed piece of kit, but also greatly due to the fact that Apple’s rivals on the tablet market seem to have given up on...

Beautiful display with great outdoor visibility, Camera is comparable to those on the latest smartphones, All-day battery life, Apple Pencil is a well-made digital sketching tool, High-quality built-in speakers

Expensive for a tablet, starting at $599, Smart Keyboard is small, rather uncomfortable, and too expensive

There's a lot to like about the 9.7-inch iPad Pro— the hardware is second to none, and the addition of the Smart Connector and Apple Pencil are game changers for the future of Apple's tablet lineup.

+

Brings the best of the 12.9-inch model, including Smart Connector and A9X, Smart Keyboard and Apple Pencil make this iPad more versatile than ever, New True Tone screen and glare reduction make it Apple's best-ever mobile display, Still amazingly thin and light despite numerous hardware...

So said Tim Cook at the introduction of the new iPad Pro 9.7 last week. It’s exactly the kind of phrase you expect from Cook’s Apple: spoken humbly, but revealing a huge ambition. It mixes a thing that’s familiar (the good ol’ iPad) with an idealistic goal.

If the original iPad Pro was an OTT beast, a slab of strong ideas that didn't quite wow like an Apple launch should, this rethought, some would say safer, take on the tablet-laptop hybrid is far more likely to impress, if not stand out.

Iconic if familiar design, Powerful and versatile with stylus-friendly screen, Great display and speakers for movie-watching

Seriously expensive, Keyboard not as good as the big iPad Pro, iOS / Mac OS hybrid not quite there yet

28 March 2016

When I reviewed the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, I said that I was having trouble envisioning the type of user who would choose it over a “real” computer like a MacBook Air or Pro. I still feel the same way today.

+

Great performance. The A9X is still a fast chip, and it’s a big upgrade over the A8X in some important ways., Characteristically great build quality., Great screen with a wide color gamut. True Tone isn’t essential, but it’s definitely nice.

-

Smart Keyboard is more cramped, which makes typing more frustrating., Aside from Apple Pencil support, it doesn’t offer a ton of features that the now-cheaper iPad Air 2 doesn’t also offer.

Apr 15 2016 - Apple made a fairly big mistake by not upgrading the iPad Air 2 last year but the new iPad Pro 9.7-inch is very much the successor to their premium tablet. It is far more affordable and portable than the full 12.9-inch model while even getting some better features such as the camera.

12 May 2016

The same question surrounding the 12.9-inch iPad’s release last year, clouds the 9.7-inch iPad: who is it really for? If only the 9.7-inch iPad Pro was capable of dual-booting iOS and OS X, then it would likely be one of the best laptop/tablet hybrid devices available, but unfortunately this is not...

+

Sleek and small, More manageable than the 12.9-inch iPad, Worthy upgrade over the iPad Air 2

-

Expensive, Runs iOS, Not a laptop replacement for most

Apple's newest iPad Pro 9.7 is one of the most powerful iPads out there to date. While still keeping a thin profile, it's lightweight and can be carried with you everywhere you go.

+

The display is great along with performance, sound quality, and battery life.

-

The cost of the iPad is steep, but not everyone has funds to buy this device. The camera was ok when it came to indoor photos.

This tablet works for anything, from school, to games to web browsing to drawing. I use the tablet for Minecraft a lot and the game runs awesome. Also use it for school with the Apple Pencil. The tablet has a great operating system and it's very simple to use.

Design, Speed, Apps, Portability, Software, Good for anything

Wish it had OLED Display with better resolution

I was nervous to buy this iPad because of how much it costs, and how little I used my old one after a while (I upgraded from an iPad Retina). I couldn't be happier with it though. It's all but replaced my laptop! I moved into a new home about a month ago, & haven't even unpacked my laptop yet.

Just wonderful! When paired with a keyboard it feels much more like a fully functioning computer than previous iPads. It works spectacularly well with the Pencil as well.

I love this tablet. It's the perfect size and fits in all my handbags. The picture is wonderful and streaming works well. I use it to watch movies in bed while my husband watches sports on TV. The Apple Pencil is the perfect accessory for this tablet for me.

I upgraded to this model from a 4th generation iPad. The differences are astounding. The A9X iPad Pro handles iOS 10 smoothly. I have yet to notice any lag on content-heavy apps like YouTube, Netflix, Facebook, or Gmail. Paired with the right keyboard, the iPad Pro can be a useful everyday device.

Absolutely worth the money! It has amazing computing power and with the Apple Pencil it is amazing for artists to create. I've been addicted to this thing since the day I've got it and keep finding more to love about it. Definitely a must buy!

My last pad I had lasted me well over 4 year. I carried it everywhere with me. I love music and photography so my files can get really large. My last pad held up so beautifully. I knew when I upgraded I would spend the extra for an iPad Pro.

However, I bought mine from Apple, a gold 128gb iPad, and paid over 200.00 less for it. Should have bought the gray but wanted something different.As for the tablet. I have purchased more tablets in the last six years than you can shake a stick at. All but one were android tablets.

I received this product on time and in great packaging. Everything arrived safe and sound. The product was brand new and in original packaging. I got the rose gold color, which is gorgeous! I'm upgrading from my old iPad Air...32GB to 256GB.
